April 23, 2016 – Bournemouth 1-4 Chelsea

Fabregas was one of the players that did not have a good season last year, with the fallout of Mourinho's reign coming to an end.

In fact, the midfielder was often blamed as a whole for Chelsea's poor performances as Chelsea had a dreadful campaign.

But in this match on the south coast, he was back to his very best to make three assists in true Fabregas fashion.

It was the second time in his career that he had recorded 3+ assists in a single Premier League match

It may have been a nothing game, with neither team really having anything on the line as far as Premier League glory, but it proved that even after a disappointing season he still had that magic in him.

December 31, 2016 - Chelsea 4-2 Stoke City

Starts have been at a premium for Fabregas in the Premier League this season, having made only five under Antonio Conte in the league.

However, this start on New Year's Eve brought up a special landmark for the 29-year-old as he became the first non-British player to record 100 assists in the top flight.

By creating two of the goals at Stamford Bridge, he also became the quickest player to reach a century of assists, faster than Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

Fabregas has been knocking on the door to get into the starting XI more for the Blues in the centre of midfield, and he should get his wish this Saturday against Swansea.
